CONVICTED.
Editor 0Brisn Found Guilty Of Sediion
IS Charged.
The Officers Accused Of Destroying Testimony
in His Favor.
BROW BEATEN BY The COURT.

CORK, September 2I.-Mr. 0'Brien, in
his speech of defense, said: The Crown was
guilty of having suppressed evidence "a
vorable to him. The Crown had with
held for Just once the notes made by head
constables of the defendants speech. In
these notes, he said, was recorded his
statement that the Irish people would
give the Land bill first place. Continuing,
Mr.. O'Brien justified his defense Of
Kingstown tenants on the ground that
the evictions against them were COM
menced Just on the eve of the passage Of
the Land bill, and thus an attempt WAS
made to deiraud the poor, wretched ten
ants Of the benefits Of the measure. He
admitted tha. he bad advised the tenants
not to give up without resistance, and that
he had declared before God and man they
were justified in defending their homes.
Mr.. 0'Brien, reply ing TO the charge
made against him Of having used seditious
language in apublic address, declared that
the court was not competent to try him,
because il was foreign in its composition TO
the requirements of the British Consti-
tuition.
At this point the Judge stopped Mr..
O'Bricn, saying the discussion Of politics
would not be allowed in the proceedings.
Mr.. O'Brien thereuppn declared that he
was chosen representative Of the Irish
people and would advocate free speech.
The court again stopped him.
Mr.. O'Brien was found guilty and sen-
fenced 10 three months imprisonment,
Notice of appeal from the Judgment Of the
court was given.
Immediately after sentence had been
pronounced against Mr.. O'Brien, on the
first charge, he was placed on trial on the
second charge. This was of the same na'
ture rs the other, upon this he was also
found guilty and was sentenced 10 three
months imprisonment, the term 20 be con-
current with the other. Mr.. O'Brien ap.
pealed from both Judgment and was
liberated on bail
Mr.. John Mandevill, chairman Of
the board of poor law guardi-
ans at Mitchellstown was jointly
indicted with Mr.. O'Brien for using sedit.
ious language, in u speech made Oh the
same occasion as Mr.. O'Brien's, was also
convicted and sentenced to two months
imprisonment. Mr.. Vaudeville appealed
from the Judgment, aud was permitted 10
remain at liberty on hail pending the de-
cision of the appeal. Mr.. O'Brien, when
he emerged from the court room after the
trial, was received with an ovation by
large crowd which had assembled TO testify
their approval OF his course.

SL0CUM'S AMBITION.
The Limit Not Known-Candidate for (
A. r. Commander.

The Limit Not Known Candidate for G..
A. r. Commander.
NEW YORK, September 23.-The hustle
of preparation enlivens the headquarters
Of the various Grand Army posts of this
city and vicinity tonight, for tomorrow
the pilgrimage to st. Louis will begin. 1t
is not certain that the outward journey
will be all fun. One post, at least, will
start with the set and sole purpose of
helping General Henry W. Slocum's can
didacy for Grand Commander. His can
vaSs has so far progressed that he has re.
grettully abandoned his own visit 10 the
encampment. As this means that the ac-
tion OF his friends will have his approval,
the Brooklyn boys may be relied on to
boom him for all his name and war ser
vices will stand.
Someisignifcance attaches to this move
ment outside Grand Army circles, because
the limit to General Slocum's ambition
has never yet been fixed. As the au-
noucement of his candidacy followed close
on the animosities excited by the battle
flag incident, there were intimations at
times that ne would like to use the Grand
ARR, as stepping-stope to the White
House, the assumption being that the
President had written himself out of favor
with the Grand Army, and that the oppo-
sition Of such body will be fatal to the
chances Of any man. Conversely, Grand
Army support would assure the election of
any Democrat. The position of Com
mander, on that basis Of reasoning, would
give General Slocum lever which might
move the Democratic convention to NOM
mate him.
This sort of talk brought his candidacy
under immediate and taking criticism,
and he took pains to have it stopped. I'm
less, therefore, some over-zealous boomer
shall slop over at st. Louis, political con-
sideration will be ignored or disclaimed
in urging his eminent fitness for the posi-
tinn

MIR. Bell Says No Question Can BE Raised
Against Her.
New YORK, September 24.-Mr. Bell,
the owner of the yacht Thistle, stated to,
day that there was nothing more to say
about the excess in thu Thistle water-line
measurement. "Why," said he, ''the
ballast could have been thrown out before
she was measured, and she could have been
reballasted, then we could have called for
another measurement after the race, but
we desired to be fair in every respect. We
have her as nearly as possible in the condi-
ton in which she sailed on the other side
She has more ballast than on the way over,
because we displaced some to make room
for the extra stores required for the vOy-
age. These is really no trouble about the
matter whatever"

One Hundred Cases Heard To-day by
Chicago Judges.
CHICAGO, September A.-To-day Is di-
vorce day par excellence in the courts, a.
there are nearly if not quite one hundred
default cases being heard by five judges.
Two Of them, judges Shepard and jamie
son, began work at nine O'Clock this
morning.
This is the largest number OF divorce
cases ever set for hearing in one day in this
city, and shows that the reputation of Chi
ca9o as divorce headquarters Is by no
means falling OFF
The cause of this number is owing part
ly TO the material growth Of population
and partly, also, 20 the fact that this year
the judges kept their vacation reliGoudy
and declined 10 hear any bat urgent mat
tiers. Judge Collins appears 70 be the
most popular, as he has fhirty-one cases or
his calendar; Judge Horton comes next
with twenty; Judge Shepard has seven
teen; Judge Garrett sixteen, and Judge
Jameson is at the rear with only eight

cusses the Situation.
PHILADELPHIA, September 23.-There
will be about $50 delegates to the coming
General Assembly OF the Knights of Labor
at Minneapolis, October 3. General Mas
ter Workman Powderly said to-day that
he could not tell what the general out
come Of the convention would be, and
added:
1t will he q compact body, and what is q
fact of Importance, it will represent paid
up constituency, bona fide membership
of over 500, 900 wage workers. There will
be no change as regards the secrecy Of the
order. As it is now, We only use secrecy
for certain details of our business.
There is general mistake in re-
gard to the secrecy and fOrmali-
ties of the order. The advocating of q
Department of Labor will he q strong
point. This convention will he consti-
tutional assembly, and the constitution
can be amended as provided. ! do not
think there will be any change in the
temperance features. They have stood
for long while will say that liquor
seller can never become member.
Mr.. Powderly said that several matters
of internal policy would be largely dis
cussed in his address, but that the District
Assembly 126 affair would not be touched.
In regard 10 the reiterated reports that he
would resign at Minneapolis, Mr.. Powder
ly said that the matter had been from first
to last newspaper sensation.

TIE sCOURGED SHIP.

Provisions for the Ouarsntined Passengers
Precautionary Measures Adopted.
New YORK, September 24.-J. Ter
Kuile, General Agent Of the Favri Line,
said this morning that he had given or
ders for three days provisions to be sent
to Hoffman ond Swinburne Islands, where
the passengers OF the Alesia, which brought
cholera to this country, are being kept.
Mr.. Ter Kuile was of the opinion that
the passengers would have to be quaran-
tined for eight or ten days and that after
that time there need be no fear of further
infection.
Mr.. Ter Kuile places great confidence In
the ability OF DIR. Smith and the quaran-
tine officials to prevent the spread of the
scourge. He said that the passengers
baggage would have to be very thoroughly
fumigated, as considerable danger would
have TO he feared from that source.

sion q Debtor To the Company.
New YORK, September A.-In the
Tribune this morning was oommunica-
ton to the effect that after investigating
the Central Pacific Railroad Company, at
San Francisco, the Pacific Railroad Com
mission had borrowed money Of the inves-
tigated company to pay its hotel bills and
get out of town.
The writer of the communication thought
the story should be denied.
ut can. be denied, said Commissioner
Little, at this mornings session of the
Commission, because it's true. We did
borrow 1000 from the Central Pacific for
that purpose. We thought that nobody
was more beholden TO the Government
than this road. Within an hour after we
had borrowed the money We received notice
from the Secretary Of the Treasury that
money had been placed to our credit and We
paid the loan the next morning"
Isaac f. Gates, the clerk of G. y. Hunt.
ingtOn, who signed many Of his vouchers
and made many of the payments on which
they we're based, came before the Commits
sion this morning ard asked to be excused
from testifying until he could communi.
cate with Mr.. Cohen, counsel for the Union
Pacific.
Mr. Gates examination was postponed
until Wednesday next.
A letter was read from Congressman
John NJ. Kasson, of Iowa, objecting to the
reported language of one of the Huntington
letters, in which he Kassonl is spoken OF
an liable fellow on whom we never lost any
money" lie said he never saw the letter
reported that way before, and desired the
Commission TO probe the matter TO the as
certain if he had ever been paid anything
by the Central Pacific Company or Mr.,
Harrington, or whether either of these par
ties had ever loaned him any money.
The Commission placed the letter on the
record together with the statement that
there was nothing before the Commission
TO raise the implication or suggestion that
Mr. Kasson had ever received any money
on account of the Central Pacific road or
for any other purpose. A letter was di-
rccted TO him to this effect.
Mr. Gates not being ready to testify, and
two other witnesses not being found by
the Sergeant-at-Arms, there was no public
business before the Commission. Charles
Francis Adams will testify on Wednesday
at 10 q. NJ, and it was TO that time that
the Commission adjourned.

of the lack of telegraphiC communication

II was reported that two deaths had oc-
Cured among the patients taken to Swim

confirmed. Dr. Smith, the Health officer,
was unable to say whether the report was
true, and none of his deputies knew any
more than they did yesterday.
At the office of the Quarantine Commits
sioners no news had been received up 10 a
